                                                                                           invite you to

international Symposium G3 (Genes, Genomics, Genetics)devoted to recent discoveries in Hematology of myelogenous Diseases.

                                            MARCH 16, 2018 9.00 A.M. – 2.00 P.M. Dean's Office (Na bojišti 3, Praha 1)

The cessation of tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment in a proportion of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia and deep molecular response will be soon applied in clinical practice because the biggest pan European clinical trial EURO-SKI (The European Stop Kinase Inhibitor) has finished and data will be published soon. Definition of important preconditions for sustained treatment free remission (TFR) is critical for guidance for treatment stopping criteria. Apart of two criteria, duration of deep molecular response and pre-stopping TKI therapy duration, an immunological status much importantly prerequisite for cessation of TKI therapy.

This symposium is focused on the immunological aspects of CML patients and their response to treatment. Andreas Burchert and Satu Mustjoki are principal investigators of systematic analysis of immune response parameters to predict response to TKI and sustained deep molecular response after TKI cessation. Ingo Roeder is applying math to create models for prediction sustained TFR without treatment.
